California Peggy appreciation thread

[demtenjeep]

she has always been supportive

She chipped in to get my blanket project started when I first came to you guys with an idea


Last week when I told you all about my student committing suicide and the family not being able to afford a funeral she did just what she always does. She chipped in.


The grandmother told me today it was her jump start that allowed the funeral home to agree to help.



the grandmother called me one of God's angels but no it is California Peggy who is the angel


I just want to recognize a lady that quietly espouses the very principles we strive to be.

You may be an angel.

I appreciate you, and I celebrate you!

Thank you, California Peggy, keep doing what you do!!!

[nolabear]

142. A genuinely democratic soul. We could learn a lot from her.

Peggy and I are "friends" in a couple of online places. She's never been anything but grace and class.

[Tobin S.]

144. She's like that in person as well.

I've had the good fortune of meeting Peggy and her husband out at their place when I was a long haul trucker. They were very kind. They made me dinner and we had a good time. I have one of her books of poetry here and she has reviewed the manuscript of my book and caught a few typos for me. I wished I lived a lot closer to her so we could have more days like the one on my visit.

[nolabear]

147. I envy you!

[demtenjeep]

152. I would love to meet her in person

some day


She walks the walk

[Algernon Moncrieff]

143. I'm always happy to say kind words about CP. Here is one of her poems.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x8546617

Ah, your tongue is a flame
I’m glowing now
I want to be burned
By you

We will create a space
upon the grass

Where we will wrap and twist and coil

The wind might blow over us
But we’ll never feel it pass

The dark shade of the trees
Will hide us
From everyone
They’ll never see us there
They won’t see us come undone

They won’t see us completed
They won’t see us become
One.

Ah, your tongue is a flame
There will be no end to us
Or our ecstasy...

[snappyturtle]
